Never use a satin finish for anything you actually want to protect... The flattening agents in finish are usually silica and do nothing positive for the finish. It is less durable and far less waterproof.

To get a satin finish use gloss finish and then knock the shine off with either rottenstone in mineral oil of felt or use Bear-Tex pads.
